Siri cardigan finished May 12 2015, 3 Comments
Having spotted this design wandering around Unravel - a gorgeous yellow version by fa1ry_elephant on Instagram - I knew I had to knit one. The pattern is by Linnea Ohman and is called Siri. (Apologies for lack of accents on the designer's name).
I'd been craving something in emerald green but couldn't find anything in the shops, so dyed up three skeins of Oosie in Emerald City and ended up using two and a half with 96g left over.
I love the way the yoke pattern continues down the sleeves. It took an age - like mini cables and reminds me of a Scandinavian forest of pine trees - but then the stocking stitch went speedily. The ribbing is a twisted rib.
The green does look a little different in each photo! I chose some vintage jade coloured buttons given to me by an ex-colleague and the ribbon braid on the left of the picture from Namolio.
I knitted the XL size and it's a perfect fit for UK size 16.

Hi Heather – no steeking involved. Knitted top down, then divide for sleeves. Lovely pattern to knit.

What a lovely colour. I would love to have a go at making it but would like to know if it involves steeking?
